Talking about hosting one of our Bitcoin ATMs. I don’t know anything about them, okay all you need to do is provide the space we install the machine and you get a check each month for the transactions processed. We even handle the customer support Brandon Mintz is the CEO of Bitcoin Depot and atlantes, a company that distributes Bitcoin ATMs across the country.

Machines like his are the only places where you can use paper money to purchase digital currency. So show me how this works tap the screen and click buy coins so we’ll just go ahead and choose the lowest option, if you can buy $20 to $1,000 , so here now it displays how much Bitcoin you’re gonna get, you’re gonna get point zero zero one five two two four three Bitcoin. So it’s about worth about thirteen dollars.

Now what I have in here that’s all right twenty dollars, yeah it’d be worth about thirteen dollars now that’s because Bitcoin Depot took seven of the twenty dollars after markups and fees. He estimates that in total his machines taken tens of millions of dollars every year, a host store he says can expect to make a few hundred bucks a month on average and attract more customers. In the process you put physical money in but then it goes into the space where everything is ephemeral on there there is no physical money is that that seems like it puts you in a unique position right yeah.

it’s definitely interesting how we’re selling digital products but the thing is when you can actually touch this machine and know that there’s a real company behind it versus just a random website that can vanish at any time. it gives you the sense of trust and credibility that this company is legitimate.

The number of Bitcoin ATM machines worldwide has tripled since 2017. There are now more than 3000 according to coin ATM radar, a website that maps them turning cash into crypto hasn’t gone mainstream, as a result not a single person we saw using a Bitcoin Depot ATM would speak with us and several even use profanity to emphasize how little they wanted to be filmed.

That might be because they’re shy or it might be because they’re shady, in the US there’s almost no federal or state monitoring of these transactions which makes it hard to know if they’re a portal for small investors or an easy way to launder money like how many people are coming in and just sticking 20 dollars in.

I don’t have exact metrics on demographics but it’s really diverse, I mean there’s low-income people using the machines because it’s a better source of money transfer than Western Union. There are investors going to the Machine in this area this where customer support and sales go down. We’ve been here for a little over a year now companies like Bitcoin Depot self report suspicious activity to the Financial Crimes enforcement Network.

A bureau within the US Treasury Department created to quote determine emerging trends and methods and money laundering and other financial crimes, but there’s no independent oversight. Bitcoin Depot has 135 machines and 15 states and more than a third of them are in Atlanta including minces.

First machine in a vape store across the street from Georgia Tech number one pillow and I’m sat and watched people who pump 10 grand into that machine. So at a time in two different transactions because they can only do five grand it for per transaction but twice a day and who what kind of people are doing that.

It’s all different kinds of people are I mean it’s it’s a lot of like urban people and I’d say a lot of strippers really it’s gonna get a lot of strippers in here. What about like drugs are people laundering drug money and I mean , I hope not but I mean probably in a statement to vice news.

Bitcoin Depot said quote it’s not a hundred percent avoidable for any company. Bitcoin Depot has outstanding compliance policies and strives to go above and beyond. All know your customer and monitoring requirements at its ATMs is there like a particular time when you have real heavy traffic. I have people waiting at the door from you some days and then I have people banging on the door at 8:15 and after I’ve already closed trying to get in here to use it so it’s it’s all day long.

New York is a cosmopolitan city but its public schools are incredibly segregated. Mayor Bill DeBlasio just announced a plan to do something about this by making New York’s elite high schools more diverse.

One of the city school districts is already debating its own plan to desegregate and if that experiment is any indication the mayor might be about to face a lot of angry parents. One of the city’s wealthiest locust districts is constructing a plan to do something about its segregation but as the Chancellor of New York City Public Schools noted on Twitter it’s not going over well with everyone that clip from a public meeting about the plan turned a local news story into a national conversation.

New York City’s district 3 includes both the white and wealthier parts of the Upper West Side and black brown and poorer sections of southern Harlem, there are sixteen middle schools in the district and thanks to a complicated set of admissions criteria the top performing schools are dominated by affluent white and Asian kids, fewer than 10% of the students at those schools come from low-income families. in some other parts of the district almost 100 percent of the kids come from low-income families of color so parents and district tree leaders introduced a plan that would reserve at least 25% of all seats at each school for students who are struggling,this means some high achieving students aren’t going to get there top school choice.

We have not address part of our district and that to me is our problem the conversations that we’re having right now are really really important and they’re really really emotional and they’re not going to solve them tonight. We’re not Kim Watkins is the chair of district 3 is community education council . it’s fear I think it’s less about race and less about racism to a lot of black families, it does feel like it’s about race and the arguments sound a lot like what some of them heard in the 1950s.

I’m not racist but I don’t want my kids around kids who don’t perform well I’m a white parent in Harlem and you know I am, I would never think twice about having my kids sit next to a black kid in a class .

The District three fight exposes the conflict between families desire to choose the best public school for their kids and the community’s real need for equitable education and then just how hard it is to get individual families to stop thinking about school choice.

Like it’s a zero-sum game do you think that the parents of high-performing students end up feeling like they actually deserve the best of what the public schools offer even if it’s at the expense of kids who are struggling, I unequivocally would say there is no owed spots and in the public school system to the extent that it seems that parents feel that way is a flaw in public education and I think it’s an unsustainable environment if we want public education to succeed.

a soft touch with the first lady on the ground I want to thank you for your hard work but a hard line on immigration from the President himse lf they’re the worst immigration laws in the history of the world a day after the president retreated on the issue of separating families.

There’s still no public plan in place to reunite those roughly 2,300 children with their parents DHS secretary Kirsten Nielsen on Capitol Hill unable to answer basic questions about their fate.

President Trump defended his zero tolerance policy which is still intact requiring all adults who crossed the border illegally to face prosecution, if we took zero-tolerance away you would be overrun. You’d have millions of people pouring through our border today extending an invitation to Democrats to come to the White House and work on an immigration deal, while lashing out at the same time they don’t care about the children, they don’t care about the injury, they don’t care about the problems, they don’t care about anything, and taking fresh aim at Mexico blaming them for the influx of immigrants from Central America.

They walked through Mexico like it’s walking through Central Park tonight, there is new fallout in an interview with the Christian broadcast network attorney general Jeff Sessions acknowledging the political damage. It hasn’t been good and the American people don’t like the idea that we’re separating families on Capitol Hill protesters wrapped in thermal blankets imitating the images from the border, demanded action as a conservative immigration bill failed on the House floor.

The bill is with another bill on life support postponed until tomorrow and tonight the first lady is facing scrutiny for the jacket, she wore today the back of it reads, I really don’t care do you her spokesperson saying it’s just a jacket. There’s no hidden message but the president tweeting tonight it refers to the fake news media Melania has learned how dishonest they are and she truly no longer cares.

]]>President Trump unleashed and on the attack in a freewheeling face-off with reporters, the president said that DOJ Inspector General report which sharply criticizes former FBI director James Comey and the FBI lets him off the hook. There was no collusion there was no obstruction the IG report yesterday went a long way to show that, but that’s misleading the report was only about the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email investigation not the Russia probe. Still the president slamming the IG reports finding that politics didn’t play a role.

It was a pretty good report and then I say that the IG blew it at the very end with that statement, all of it fodder as the president sharpens his attacks against Special Counsel Robert Muller last night.

His attorney Rudy Giuliani said Muller’s investigation should be suspended, are you thinking of I think I think that whole investigation now is look the problem with the Muller investigation is everybody’s got massive conflicts. the president changing his tune on fired National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Some people say he lied and some people say he didn’t lie. I mean really it turned out maybe he didn’t lie but that’s a major shift the president said he fired Flynn for lying and Flynn later pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian officials.

The president pressed on his former personal attorney Michael Cohen and reports Cohen’s considering cooperating with federal investigators. Look, I did nothing wrong you have to understand a long time ago it comes just days after the president struck a deal with North Korea to denuclearize.

Today reporters pressed him on why he has been praising a brutal dictator, I know why because I don’t want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family and the president raising eyebrows with this comment. He’s the head of a country and I mean he’s the strong head, don’t let anyone think anything different, he speaks and his people sit up at attention, I want my people to do the same but the fact is North Korea is a totalitarian regime where dissent isn’t tolerated when challenged. Mr. Trump tried to laugh it off kidding you don’t understand, sorry president weighing in on the immigration crisis engulfing his administration with thousands of children separated from their parents at the border. no I hate it I hate the children being taken away the Democrats, have to change their law that’s their law but nothing in the law requires the administration to separate children from their parents, but there’s no law that says families have to be separated at the border demography. Gave us the laws now I want to Louis to be beautiful humane but strong now while the president is blaming Democrats for the border crisis it’s Republicans who controlled both chambers of Congress.

Lester Kristen for a president who holds reporters in the press in such a low regard he seems to be spending an awful lot of time in front of the cameras. How did he end up there where you are in the North Lawn today, Lester it was just wild this is not an area the president spends any time whatsoever, so to see him walk up the driveway behind me was remarkable and we were just inches away from him during the entire back-and-forth.

Now the President did have a clear strategy he wanted to control the narrative on a day of mixed headlines but Lester it was just unprecedented.
